Observation on she-wolf "Tala" (above) and male wolf "Canagan" (below) in their summer habitat @ Northwest Trek Wildlife Park.. Eatonville, WA. They are siblings approx. 11 years old. Wonder, might her expression imply keeping big brother 'in line'?!
Visitors: Invited to explore my photostream & albums for various seasonal portfolios of wildlife/scenics/florals. Any comments (or) favs sincerely appreciated.
A sweet but large Wolf spider came to ask who was invading her territory when we stopped for lunch. She caught a grasshopper while we were there. That kept her happy. 😃

I thought I posted this one. I had it ready to go and added it to my spider presentation. I love getting closeup portraits of wolf spiders. This spider was right outside my front door and was pretty cooperative.
I was hoping to get a shot of the full moon tonight but its supposed to be very cloudy. I took this last night just in case. I'm glad I did.
Los lobos negros son en realidad un tipo de lobo gris, cuyo peculiar color se debe a una cuestión genética y por eso suelen ser muy raros de encontrar.

Screaming girls brought this Wolf Spider to my attention, so this little lady came in for a photo session. No worries arachnid fans, she is back outside roaming the garden as we speak.

We had seen that the pack had spread out before and after crossing the Madison river--some taking the bridge, and some cutting across the open plain, meaning that they had to cross the river by swimming through it--but we didn't know where they all went. So we sat by the side of the road and waited to see where they would show up.
Lo and behold, this beautiful creature just emerged right next to the van and, as I was sitting next to the door, I managed to overcome my shock and get a few shots in without shooting through tainted glass.
It makes me sick to my stomach when one hears how they are being decimated outside of the park.
This is an image of a wolf spider taken in the same area as Saturday's upload.
There are a few differences between this wolf spider and the one I uploaded on Saturday. The other one has a plate at the top of the junction between head and abdomen, the abdomen itself has a different pattern and of course it is carrying its egg sac at the front instead of the rear. Judy Gallagher suggests that the one on Saturday could be a Fishing spider. I really hope so, as it would be a first for me :-)
Wolf Moon tonight brings visions of wolves howling at the moon to mind. What does a Wolf Moon tonight mean? A Wolf Moon is a full moon in January. The 2010 Wolf Moon appears on January 29.
The name Wolf Moon comes from hungry wolf packs that howled outside Native American villages. The Wolf Moon is also referred to as the Moon After Yule and the Old Moon.
According to the Farmers Almanac, the Native Americans in the eastern and northern United States kept track of the seasons by naming recurring full moons such as the Wolf Moon. When it was cold, wolves howled hungrily outside the Indian villages. The January full moon was thus named a Wolf Moon. The February full moon is the Ice Moon.
Will you watch the Wolf Moon tonight? Spaceweather.com reports the Wolf Moon tonight will appear about 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than the typical full moon.
